if you go to the (HP) compaq web site you will see when you are looking t download drivers the website auto detects the make,model and OS you are using and direct you to the drivers you need.

sound LEAKS from your laptop? that's a new one. :)

please clarify forced installation of ur sound drivers, and if anything try reinstalling windows xp, and/or your sound drivers normally.

try going into devices and uninstalling your sound driver and reinstalling it before doing the above solution - may just fix it.

Try downloading the drivers from the Compaq website or do a search useing the model number and the word "driver".Reinstalling the drivers and the computer would detect the card.

If you have XP then also you can try the same driver

Check first if your sound card is working properly.

My Computer >> Right click...Properties >> hardware >> Device manager >> Sound

Then go to Start >> Control Panel >> Sound and Audio Devices .........hit ADVANCED

one dialog appears MASTER VOLUME >> Go to OPTIONS >> Then PROPERTIES..........

CHECK the MICROPHONE...........Hit OK.............

This will be fixing your problem (if your sound card is working well)
